In this issue, we spotlightHenry Lee, director of the Belfer Center’s Environment and Natural Resources Program (ENRP) who was recently promoted to senior lecturer in public policy at Harvard Kennedy School. William Clark, faculty chair of ENRP, said Lee is “the key reason we are more than the sum of the parts.” Lee, he said, has “worked ceaselessly…to build the connections – among the faculty, from faculty to potential sources of support, from the work we do to the work of policy and practice, and to our students.” We also highlight Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, senior fellow with the Center who previously was the primary person in government whose job was to track al Qaeda’s efforts to secure nuclear weapons. In our Q&A feature, Mowatt-Larssen offers his views on al Qaeda’s intention to attack the U.S. as well as his thoughts regarding the role of intelligence in today’s world and how it can be improved.
